    I don’t even have to read that – I grew up in AA. My mom went to classes while I did my homework in the back.

    First step – admit you are powerless over alcohol.
    Second Step – surrender yourself to a higher power (God)

    But, maybe I don’t believe in God? That’s OK, you can make up your own higher power.

    Ok, well, since I went along with you on the first step as a goof, I guess my higher power must be, well – obviously alcohol.

    I think I’ll go with Vodka – versatile, makes a nice morning cocktail with tomato or orange juice, flexible holiday drink.

    I’m a drunk, I can’t even come up with a good excuse of why I pissed in the sock drawer last nite. Maybe this in not the best time for me to be coming up with my own omnipotent deities.
